Default 2005 Mustang V6 Clutch Problem And Power Cables

Today I noticed something is wrong with my clutch. The clutch pedal just flops down. It still pop right back up but its so easy to push that even a 1 year old can do it. Now I was wondering does anyone know whats wrong with it?
Also does anyone know how the power cables plug on to the spark plug as in what order?
Thanks in advance

Ok I figured out the cable order but now I'm confused about the clutch. I know the clutch uses the same reservoir as the brake and I noticed on mine it is near empty. My question is if it uses the same reservoir how do you fill the clutch fluid and the brake fluid? Because wouldn't the fluids mix because the same fluids go in the same reservoir ?
Thanks in advance

the clutch and the brakes use the same dot3 brake fluid, hence the design to share resovoirs. but if your resovoir is almost empty, either your brakes are really worn, and that would explain the usage because the brake fluid fills the void behind the fully extended caliper pistons. or you have a leak either in your brake system or at most likely the slave. my advice to you is to start checking for leaks, since the slave is inside the trans bellhousing, if its leaking you should see fluid loss at the bellhousing vent on the bottom of the trans near the front. i hope this helps!
